    We had the Gator Bite appetizer, the Strawberry and Guava Rib Basket and the Crab and Shrimp topped Atlantic Salmon. Every single bite was absolutely delicious! The waitress was very attentive and nice. We'll definitely be going back.

    Food was mediocre at best and took forever to prepare. Our waitress was good and very apologetic, though. Drinks were great. Other than the drinks and sunset view, we were disappointed.

    Very loud inside, seated right away with reservations. Informed that kitchen staff was running behind due to a party of 30. Took about a hour for our food to arrive, some of my shrimp was still raw.

    We had a reservation for 8 people at 8pm and it took us over an hour to get apps and didn't get dinner till 9:30. We finally asked to have all food brought out together. Our wait person was attentive but seemed overwhelmed. Service was slow for food and drinks. Could have had more frequent updates from server or management to keep us posted on food status and refill our drinks. The majority of our group had only one drink and we were sitting in the bar area. I won't go back.

    I have never written a negative review but feel I need to share. The service was terrible - we had to ask for several things 2-3 times (water, silverware, crayons for our son, chips). The food was sub-par - the jambalaya, their signature dish, tasted like the sauce was made from ketchup. The chicken tacos had very little chicken in them. The Mac and cheese was spaghetti with watery cheese sauce and a few bread crumbs on top. All of it was cool/cold too. The only positive was the view, which was incredible. I hope they can turn the service and food around.

    Our table was great. We were able to watch the fireworks on the ocean. Alli our server was awesome. She was attentive and observant. She suggested we take a drink of our mojitos before she walked away because another customer sent theirs back. The manager made us another mojito. Great experience! We will definitely be returning customers!

    Our food was good but they were out of the first two options my husband ordered along with the drink he wanted. Our seats were perfect at first then they set two families next to us with screaming disobedient toddlers, we felt like we were in the middle of daycare. By this time the restaurant was full & there was no place to move. They also forgot our appetizer till I mentioned it. Our waitress was very kind & sweet. We’d try again but maybe sit at the bar area away from the screaming, crying & knocked over chairs that was constant while the parents laughed together & drank, ignoring their kids. Feel like this could have been avoided with better hosting.

    It was very underwhelming. I went with my mom and sister for a dinner on vacation and our food was undercooked (salmon and rice) and drinks were not very good either. We waited an hour and a half for not so good food and it wasn’t even busy then.

    Service was great. We had gator bites, mussels, tacos, and shrimp boil. Tacos and mussels were just alright. They were out of oysters, which was disappointing.

    Our experience was good. We were seated immediately and our view was nice. The cleanliness of our table and the menus is probably my biggest complaint. Very sticky. Jordan was our server and she greeted us quickly and was wonderful, very sweet and quite the sales person. Our order came relatively fast and overall everything was fair. Presentation was nice and food was cooked well, just didn’t suit our taste. We thought menu items were high in cost in comparison to other restaurants we had visited but it is right on a beach so if that is important you’re paying for the ambience. Overall our visit was good, not memorable but Jordan was the highlight.

    Absolutely horrible experience. Server never came by the table besides only to take the order and leave. She was chatting with the bartender or no where to be found. Had to ask for refills several times. But don’t worry, brought the check before we finished our meal. Food took forever. Between apps and entree was 45 minutes. Oysters raw on the half shell tasted frozen. Kids chicken tenders were cooked to obliteration and the kids couldn’t chew them. Why would they do happy face potato fries that tasted like cardboard, why not real fries? Crab cake sandwich was nothing but filler and whole grain mustard. Overall, horrible experience and would not recommend going back for any tourist.
